Hi all-I was hoping to get the Community's take on the following scenario...I am looking to acquire my 5-6th units via a duplex.

Single-hung usually next in line, then double-hung... casement/awning windows of comparable size are usually the most costly of the common window types.Be sure to pay attention to the egress needs - while a 2650 DH might meet egress, a 2650 casement may not (or it may need side pivot hardware).I could write a small novel on what to look for when buying windows... however, sleep beckons.

Are you sure this  scenario is correct?

Delaware is great for a lot of different scenarios, but not typically in the area you are looking at.Also, S Corps may be great for operational businesses, but you should generally avoid them for anything that holds real estate due to appreciation issues.

If you don't own your current residence but are paying more than 100-150/mo then my common sense says you're winning.

It is not common in the United States.
